"Very rare [and] attractive" (Burden) Lafreri-school map of the North Atlantic, after the French mapmaker Nicolas de Nicolay, from the Lyons edition of Pedro de Medina's L'Art de Naviguer.
This is the earliest map of the North Atlantic by the school, compiled by Paolo Forlani, a leading mapmaker of the period, the geography of North America reflecting the prevailing uncertainties of the day, without the familiar landmarks and Bermuda placed northwards of its true position.
